A. First, unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout. Be sure to hold the screens in and flip it over and backflush it. While it is removed, see if the sound is still there. If so, there is probably a bad "O" ring in the cartridge. You can replace the whole cartridge cheaply. Just remember the position it was installed in when replacing. You can mark it with a felt tip marker for reference.

whistling toilet?
Q. i've grown used to my toilet whistling for the past couple months. not sure why it does it but you can hear it fron anywhere in the house. if you turn a faucet on elsewhere, it will change the pitch. it facinates me. the only problems i'm having is recently i'll be taking a shower and then my toilet will just start running, causing the pressure to be lost in the shower as well as it turning scoulding hot (usually while i'm shampooing :( ) any ideas?
Asked by ekimollidrac - Mon Aug 28 17:28:05 2006 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A couple of things. 1. The toilet is probably running because the rubber stopper known as the flapper is worn out and needs to be replaced. Simple job. Also sometimes the seat where the flapper seals the tank gets warn and may also need replaced. Little more difficult but not bad. If you end up going that far I found a different type of a flushing devise that actually works better than the standard flush valve. It's cone shaped and the cone seals against a large rubber washer. 2. I'm guessing this is an older house. Most newer homes have limiters on the water supply to prevent the scalding problem your talking about. All that it takes to fix that is a small brass washer with a very small hole to limit the water flow into the toilet. … [cont.]

A. a plumber would need to look at the problem before they could speculate b/c it could be any number of things. you should call back the plumber that installed the tankless water heater to see if it is something he did or to find out what exactly is going on. what brand of tankless water heater was installed?

How can I get rid of that screeching whistle in my shower?
Q. (I already bought a new shower head) It's a high pitched whine that only happens when the shower is on, not the faucet.
Asked by Freakgirl - Fri Jan 23 08:22:17 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The only times I've experienced this issue were in homes with extraordinary water pressure. Most shower heads now are designed to decrease water output, which means there's less water coming out of the head & more pressure building up behind the head. There should be a valve where your water comes into your house (the name of which escapes me right now) that you can turn down. Your other option would be to try to find a shower head that doesn't conserve water, or to possibly run the faucet in the bathroom sink at the same time. Neither option is great for water conservation, though. Best of luck to you!

New Pressure Regulator is humming/whitsling?
Q. I started having this problem as well right after replacing the pressure regulator. I've tried increasing the pressure up to 80psi as well as reducing it down to 45psi, but the humming/whistling noise still occurs anytime the faucets are turned on less than half way and/or after flushing the toilet and also right after turning faucets off. I know it is the pressure regulator since that is the only change and it also vibrates slightly when it "hums/whistles". Any ideas? Regulator is in correctly with arrow point in the direction of the water flow. What do you mean by the pressure must be the same as the tank pressure? The problem is definately the pressure regulator as that was the only change made to the system. Also, the screeching… [cont.]

Squealing shower?
Q. I just moved into my new house, and had replaced the shower head, as the old one was not working. The flow/pressure was very low - when the diverter on the faucet was pulled, most of the water still came out of the faucet, rather than the shower. So, I replaced the faucet with a brand new one with diverter. The shower now works great, but it makes a loud squealing/whistling noise. How can I fix this? There does seem to be a small gap between the new faucet and the shower wall; could that be the problem, and if so, how can I fix it?
Asked by Squeevil - Mon Jul 28 11:40:32 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I had a similar, intermittent problem at my old house. I found that once the noise started, if I pushed the diverter plunger down just slightly, it would stop the noise. A few drips of water or a small stream might come from the faucet after doing so, but not enough to affect the shower head pressure. Of course it's not a permanent solution, but on the rare occasion the noise occurred, this did the trick for me. I doubt the small gap between the faucet and shower wall has anything to do with it. However, it might be a good idea to seal that gap with some caulk so water doesn't enter your wall cavity.
